I'm resisting the urge to paint anything yet as I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it would turn into months of work so just concentrating on mechanicals for now

Time for an update, the coolant hoses were perished.
No tools required to drain the radiator
It also has a drain tap for the block, I think the idea was to drain the water if left outside in freezing conditions
Radiator removed for back flushing
All back together with new hoses and clips, I should really look for some wire clips as they would be more period correct

Time for an oil change, I'm used to buying 5 litre oil bottles, these were a shock to the pocket
Getting the pick up strainer out was fun as the previous owner has used Silicon sealer on every joint
Removing the filter gave a nice view of the pick up
Oily bits to be cleaned up
Nice and clean, I wondered why the pick up filter had a copper gasket face, then worked out it was to enable the mesh to be soldered to it
No replaceable air filter here
Some thought goes into the design, you can't lose the oil filler cap as it is held by a strong spring and hooks onto the neck for filling
